Code to create new wrksheet that totals the other wrksheets?

  Asked By: Francisca    Date: Oct 21    Category: MS Office    Views: 630
  

I have a file that contains x number of worksheets (the number of
worksheets may vary from month-to-month). All worksheets are set up
the same, though each contains different results. I'm trying to find a
way through VBA where a new worksheet is created (within the same
file) that totals certain lines from each of the worksheets (same rows
across worksheets). Does anyone happen to have code for this? I can
send a sample file, if need be.

Yes. I've done this before. My free Excel add-in
(www.grbps.com/adddin.htm) contains the facility to create  new sheets
based on a range which is selected. It then turns these sheet names into
hyperlinks to open the new sheets. This is the code:

-------------------------------
Sub MakeNewSheet()

Dim strMain As String
Dim strAddress As String
Dim BadCharsCount As Integer
Dim DupeNameFlag As Boolean

On Error GoTo Err_MakeNewSheet

strMain = ActiveSheet.Name
For Each c In Selection
strAddress = c.Address
If Len(c.Value) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Empty cell at " & Replace(c.Address, "$", "")
Exit Sub
End If
If Len(c.Value) > 31 Then
MsgBox "Sheet name exceeds 31 characters at cell " &
Replace(c.Address, "$", "")
Exit Sub
End If
BadCharsCount = InStr(1, c.Value, ":") + _
InStr(1, c.Value, "\") + _
InStr(1, c.Value, "/") + _
InStr(1, c.Value, "?") + _
InStr(1, c.Value, "*") + _
InStr(1, c.Value, "[") + _
InStr(1, c.Value, "]")
If BadCharsCount > 0 Then
myAnswer = MsgBox("Illegal characters in proposed filename
at cell " & _
Replace(c.Address, "$", "") & "." & vbCrLf & "Do you
want me to fix it?", vbYesNo)
If myAnswer = vbNo Then
MsgBox "Halting execution at cell " & Replace(c.Address,
"$", "")
Exit Sub
End If
c.Value = Replace(c.Value, ":", "-")
c.Value = Replace(c.Value, "\", "-")
c.Value = Replace(c.Value, "/", "-")
c.Value = Replace(c.Value, "?", "-")
c.Value = Replace(c.Value, "*", "-")
c.Value = Replace(c.Value, "[", "-")
c.Value = Replace(c.Value, "]", "-")
End If
For Each d In Sheets
If c.Value = d.Name Then DupeNameFlag = True
Next d
If DupeNameFlag Then
MsgBox "Duplicate sheet name at cell " & Replace(c.Address,
"$", "")
Exit Sub
End If
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = c.Value
strSubAddr = "'" & c.Value & "'!A1"
Sheets(strMain).Hyperlinks.Add c, "", strSubAddr, "Go to sheet",
c.Value
strSubAddr = "'" & strMain & "'!" & strAddress
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add ActiveSheet.Range("a1"), "",
strSubAddr, "Back to index", "Main Sheet"
Sheets(strMain).Select
Next c
Err_MakeNewSheet:
End Sub

Of course, this isn't quite what you want to do. You need to create one
new sheet, then in column A list the names of all sheets in the file  and
then in the next column lift your number  from that sheet. This code  will
do it for you:

--------------------------
Sub MakeSummrySheet()

Dim strMain As String
Dim strName As String

Sheets.Add Before:=Sheets(1)
ActiveSheet.Name = "Summary sheet"

Range("a1").Select

For Each c In Sheets
If c.Name <> "Summary sheet" Then
strName = c.Name
Selection.Value = c.Name
strMain = "='" & c.Name & "'!G10"
Selection.Offset(0, 1).Formula = strMain
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Next c
---------------------------

Simply replace the G10 reference with the cell which contains the total
on your sheets.

You need just one extra line for the second column (I'm assuing it is
H10 below). Try this:

--------------------------
Sub MakeSummrySheet()

Dim strMain As String
Dim strName As String

Sheets.Add Before:=Sheets(1)
ActiveSheet.Name = "Summary sheet"

Range("a1").Select

For Each c In Sheets
If c.Name <> "Summary sheet" Then
strName = c.Name
Selection.Value = c.Name
strMain = "='" & c.Name & "'!G10"
Selection.Offset(0, 1).Formula = strMain
strMain = "='" & c.Name & "'!H10"
Selection.Offset(0, 2).Formula = strMain
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Next c

---------------------------

Creating the totals  can be done in code, but when it's only a couple of
clicks using the autosum button it hardly seems worth it!
